I understand your frustration with the quality loss when uploading Instagram Stories on your Nothing Phone 2. This issue seems to be affecting several users, as discussed in the Nothing Community.
While Instagram’s compression algorithms play a significant role in this quality degradation, there are a few steps you can take to mitigate the issue:
Enable High-Quality Uploads in Instagram Settings:
- Go to your Instagram profile.
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner.
- Navigate to Settings > Account > Mobile Data Use.
- Toggle on High-Quality Uploads.
Use Instagram’s In-App Camera:
Recording directly within the Instagram app can sometimes yield better results than uploading from the gallery.
Check Your Internet Connection:
A stable and fast internet connection can help ensure that your uploads maintain their quality.
Update Instagram and Your Device:
Ensure that both Instagram and your device’s operating system are up to date, as updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes.
If the issue persists, consider providing feedback to both Nothing and Instagram, as user reports can help prioritize fixes.
Additionally, if you’re interested in viewing Instagram Stories anonymously, you might find instastoryviewer.io useful. It’s a simple tool that allows you to view public Instagram Stories without logging in.
Hope this helps!
